10 Responses to “Dolce & Gabbana Patchwork Ankle Strap Sandal”

My M-I-L (whom I adore) claims to hate fashion as she owns a sewing shop and is a seamtress. After years and years in the business she hates how people spend money on trends, on the clothes that are poorly made, don’t fit, and destroy the figure of the wearer. It offends her frugal aesthetic. Simple Classics all the way for her.

Except for patchwork, she says there is something fulfilling about collecting beautiful scraps of fabric and creating bags with them. Yet any patchwork creation of hers is just so fugly it takes your breath away. Kind of like these shoes, lots of nice bits of material, interesting design yet worth way less than the sum of the parts.

I actually kind of like them :-) Maybe it’s because I do quilting? And, just for the record – I don’t do bed quilts, I do art quilts that hang on the wall like paintings. Hmmm… maybe I could wear those shoes to my next gallery show?
